While he is entitled to his opinion on not liking Downton Abbey, it worries me (not that he cares of course) that he'd criticize based on 3 episodes. More over, Game of Thrones talks a lot about class. Not to mention that the women in Downton have way more lines and bravery than all those rape scenes Game of Thrones promotes.

He comes across as ignorant, because how can he give an opinion on a show he doesn't watch? The first three episodes are not enough to form an opinion. Yes, Downton shows the class system, but it also shows the flaws, and the evolution. It's not static.

Does he think GOT doesn't have a class system? The more I think about it, the more foolish he looks.

He's very, very right, except for the implication that in Britain we now enjoy a classless society. Not while the Conservative Party are in power, we don't.

While… 'the British acting industry has been essentially kept afloat in the years since the "Harry Potter" franchise wrapped up by two things: "Downton Abbey" and "Game of Thrones."' might make for a nice line, its really total nonsense.
